> but will it hibernate I can't be the only user who just doesn't care about hibernate. I definitely understand why other people want it, but I find suspend and hibernate almost disorienting. I don't want to continue a session where I left off. I'd start it back up, forget what I was doing anyway, and then I'd likely close all the programs and start over, realizing how amusing the effort I'd just gone through was. I'm willing to admit it might be a personal problem. |

But I couldn't live without suspend!
I hardly shutdown my boxes. Not because I like "impressive" output form uptime, I don't care, but as I don't like to reopen things.
There is by now even enough RAM around that you don't have to close almost anything if you don't like.
Also wake up from suspend is not more than a second. That's much faster to get into a workable state compared to the 20 seconds to boot an average box and than even waiting longer until all applications started up.
The only reasons for shutdowns are imho kernel updates or when you need to lock the computer. (You should not trust Linux screensavers, they had obscure bugs in the past, even things got better on Wayland. Also FDE encryption keys remain in RAM throughout suspend usually).
